GO TOOLING PORTAL

What is it?

Simple and fast webapp that provides users with some self-hosted tooling to avoid insecure internet generators/processors:

• HTPasswordGenerator: generate htpasswords OR shadow unix standard passwords (MD5/MD-5 Apache variant OR SHA512)
• RandomPasswordGenerator: generate a variable length, multi-case, multi-symbol password
• SSHKeyGenerator: generate ssh/rsa keys with or without passwords
• JsonPrettifier: prettify/indent a complex Json
• FormatConverter: transform YAML to JSON and viceversa
• EpochTimeConverter: transform unix timestamp to human time and viceversa
• Base64Converter: encode/decode data in Base64 format
• URLDecoder: decode special characters in URLs

To be added in future releases:

• generate self-signed tls certificates
• generate k8s kubeconfig from service-account secret token
• transform yaml/json to golang struct

• Nothing is stored server-side, no database is used, everything is ephemeral
• This tool does not need internet access (all the assets are served locally)
• Works fine even if you are behind a proxy

    • echo "export GO111MODULE=on" >> ~/.bashrc
  • create your go folders mkdir -p ~/go/{bin,pkg,src}
• Get the app: cd ~/go/src/ && git clone https://github.com/sfarosu/go-tooling-portal.git
• Build the app: cd ~/go/src/github.com/sfarosu/go-tooling-portal && go build .
• Run the app: ./go-tooling-portal
• Access it in your browser at: http://localhost:8080

Run it inside containers

Docker build

• Make sure you have docker and git installed on your machine
• Git clone the repo: cd ~ && git clone https://github.com/sfarosu/go-tooling-portal.git && cd ~/go-tooling-portal && git checkout master
• Build the image: cd ~/go-tooling-portal && docker build -t docker.io/sfarosu/go-tooling-portal:latest -f Dockerfile .
• Run the container daemonized : docker run --rm -d -p 8080:8080 docker.io/sfarosu/go-tooling-portal
• Access it in your browser at: http://localhost:8080

Docker run - use the prebuilt image from docker hub

• docker run --rm -d -p 8080:8080 docker.io/sfarosu/go-tooling-portal:latest
• Access it in your browser at: http://localhost:8080

Docker compose

• Run it with: docker-compose -f deployments/docker-compose/docker-compose.yaml up
• Stop it with: docker-compose -f deployments/docker-compose/docker-compose.yaml down
• Access it in your browser at: http://localhost:8080

Kubernetes

• create the deployment: kubectl create -f deployments/kubernetes/deployment.yaml
• create the svc: kubectl create -f deployments/kubernetes/svc.yaml
